That's correct, it adds it directly to the grid. I like this functionality
because I just want to see if a show is a repeat with a quick glance. If it
is a repeat, I typically don't want to scroll to it to see the description.
With the current theme functionality, I have to scroll to it first to see if
it is a repeat. I've had it running on my screen for a little while now and
I don't think it looks busy. Actually, if I had my choice, I'd rather have
the repeat info displayed on the grid than the genre if people think it's
too busy.
